Chapter 680: Paying Tribute to the Classics with All One's Might

"Learning from Nezha?"

Qin Jian looked at the sky above, dead serious: "That is something worth considering."

"I am not joking with you," Poseixi rolled her eyes at him: "This Deep Sea Demon Whale King is clearly planning to do just like Ao Bing and crush the entire Chentang... the entire Sea City Island. Even if not for these Spirit Masters or ordinary people, we have no way to easily avoid it."

Qin Jian expanded his Spirit Power and observed carefully, realizing that Poseixi was right.

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King had clearly spent a long time conceiving how to deal with him to have created an all-encompassing strike of this scale.

There was no retreat, no way to avoid it; they could only resist head-on.

And head-on collisions were exactly what the Deep Sea Demon Whale King was most confident in.

Its soul power cultivation of nearly a million years had brought it to the limit of what was possible below the level of a god in terms of energy.

"Nezha is Nezha after all. If I want to evaporate an ice layer ten miles in radius condensed from soul power, I would need to mobilize all of my strength..."

Qin Jian looked at Poseixi: "After that, it will be up to you. Can you do it?"

"When you clash head-on with it, I am confident I can find an opportunity to strike and leave it heavily wounded so it flees," Poseixi said confidently.

But Qin Jian shook his head: "No, the goal this time is not just to wound it heavily; I want to slaughter this malignant tumor."

Even if it weren't because this Deep Sea Demon Whale King was a danger to other Sea Soul Beasts, Qin Jian did not intend to let it go.

Otherwise, leaving behind an existence that coveted his body—who knew when one might fall into its trap...

"Sister, can you find a way to restrain it? It doesn't need to be for long, just binding it for the time it takes to burn a stick of incense will do," Qin Jian asked suddenly.

Poseixi pondered for a moment and nodded: "I can restrain it for about a stick of incense, but after that, I will not have enough strength left to wound it."

Qin Jian smiled happily: "That is enough."

"Still not coming out... then I will let you and the ten thousand people on this island..."

"Go to hell!"

The cold, grim voice pierced their eardrums like the whisper of the Grim Reaper, causing countless people to tremble.

"Boom!"

A wave nearly five hundred meters in radius suddenly exploded, and a massive black shadow lunged out from the seabed.

Like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, it traced a huge arc, jumping toward the top of the ice layer.

Although that carp was tens of thousands of times larger.

Everyone only saw that on the other side of the island, a gargantuan black shadow leaped from the sea surface, and then a black shadow appeared on the ice layer above their heads, moving at extreme speed from the edge of the ice toward the center...

"Boom—!"

The black shadow suddenly expanded; people felt as if they saw the behemoth suddenly slam down onto the ice layer, the heavy pressure accompanying its body as it pressed down!

"Crack, crack, crack, crack!"

The four Ice pillars that had been supporting the ice layer to keep it from falling suddenly snapped and shattered.

The ice layer suddenly sank, slowly and firmly crushing down toward the island.

The surroundings were sealed, with nowhere to hide; like turtles in a jar, they could only close their eyes and wait for death.

"Ahhhhhhh! We are going to die, ahhhhh!"

Many people suffered mental breakdowns, tears and snot streaming down their faces under the pressure, losing control of their bodily functions.

In the face of death, whether you lived a life of great wealth or miserable poverty, this final moment was fair.

You cannot take anything with you; everything turns into fleeting clouds.

The only thing in the human world worth having is the connection between hearts.

Qin Jian and Poseixi could see lovers holding each other tightly, parents shielding their children, friends moving forward hand-in-hand, and Spirit Masters facing death without fear.

Even knowing there was no hope, the Sea Spirit Masters on the island still launched the strongest attacks they had cultivated in this lifetime toward the sky, toward that ice layer.

It was like an ant trying to shake a tree—overestimating their own strength, yet unwilling to give up.

At the moment of the apocalypse, all states of sentient life were revealed.

Qin Jian's Spirit Power swept over these scenes of despair and life-and-death bonds, and all nine of his Soul Rings lit up one by one.

Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black, Red, Red, Red!

A bright, blood-red radiance shone before everyone's eyes, illuminating the entire island.

The desperate wailing suddenly stalled at this moment.

"Hum—!"

Nine Soul Rings shot into the sky, fusing at high speed under countless shocked and joyful gazes.

A Flame light sphere, ten zhang in size, took shape above Qin Jian.

"Bang!"

The next moment, he stepped on the void, using the force of the air current to launch himself upward, supporting the Flame sphere as he shot into the sky.

"Thud!"

Seen from afar, it was like a meteor streaking across the horizon, striking the center of the underside of the ice layer.

With his state fully buffed, Fire Element Control driven by Ring Fusion, and the explosive power of his Fifth Soul Skill, Qin Jian's pure strength in this clash was not a bit weaker than the Deep Sea Demon Whale King!

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"

The explosion of the Flame sphere was like a fire constantly erupting from Qin Jian's body, instantly enveloping the entire underside of the ice layer.

Seen from afar, it looked as if a giant hand of Flame was supporting the ten-mile-wide ice layer!

"Still want to resist... a contest of strength... who can defeat me?!"

The Deep Sea Demon Whale King's massive body flashed with dark purple rings, and the next moment it leaped up, falling again with the force of a thousand jun.

"Boom—!"

The entire ice layer trembled.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The ice layer, which had originally stopped descending, pressed down once more, and countless shards of ice fell from the sky, smashing deep pits into the island.

Those who were unfortunate enough to be struck were instantly reduced to a bloody pulp, ascending to heaven in an instant.

"Paying tribute to the classics... we spare no effort..."

Hah!

Qin Jian let out a shout in his heart, pushing the Flame element to its limit until his entire body turned into a man of fire!

The line about being a demon or an immortal didn't fit the scene, so Qin Jian really couldn't bring himself to say it and had to change the dialogue.

"Go... to... hell!"

The Flame all over his body acted like a jet booster.

The downward momentum of the ice layer came to a sudden halt, then slowly began to rise.

Looking down from above, the Deep Sea Demon Whale King looked just like a fish on a chopping block, being lifted high up.

"Impossible! ——"

A roar of shock and fury came, causing the hearts of everyone below to stir with excitement.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!..."

Suddenly, five or six long dragons of Flame coiled upward from Qin Jian's body, looking just like a rind wrapping around the ice layer in reverse, only magnified countless times.

"Boom!"

The massive impact force dyed the high-temperature Flame in the sky red.

"Sizzle! Sizzle!"

Almost in that very instant, the entire ice layer was torn to pieces.

The fragments didn't even manage to hit the ground before they were vaporized by the extreme heat.

Countless people were stunned by this earth-shattering change; caught in the transition between despair and hope, many could not immediately regain their senses.

"Die! ——"

The roar of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King shook the heavens and the earth.

Countless Purple light-electric orbs emerged from around its body, sweeping toward Qin Jian in an overwhelming tide.

"Crackle, pop!"

But those five or six long dragons of Flame did not dissipate; they continued to wrap upward, colliding with the light-electric orbs to create streaks of fireworks.

The Flame lashed against the massive physique of the Deep Sea Demon Whale King again and again, like several long whips of fire, leaving behind charred black marks.

The entire island was suddenly filled with the scent of roasted meat mixed with a fishy odor...

Everyone subconsciously twitched their noses, and then their expressions became strange.
